It is a happy day around the First Bottle office when we can snag Premier Cru Chablis priced ANYTHING like this! $31.95?! Man, that’s a house white price, are we right??!! Case buy --- while it lasts! 

The J. Moreau story begins in 1814, and these days, it is one of the most well-known, rock-solid producers, having acquired many excellent parcels in the region over the decades. This lovely wine hails from Vaucoupin, which is an uppermost right bank premier cru, situated between Fley and Chichée, and the next valley over from the prestigious premier cru Mont de Milieu. It’s typically ripe and fresh, subtle with a touch of salt, lively and powerful, yet controlled enough to allow the minerality and purity to sing. The vines grow on gentle slopes of Kimmeridgean marls, facing east. This terroir delivers wine with finesse and a beautiful minerality.

Did we mention $31.95??! $191.70 a 6-PACK delivered! While it lasts…!
